My marriage breakup left me battling depression, says Ubi Franklin

Nigerian music executive Ubi Franklin has opened up about his struggles with depression and multiple suicide attempts following the dissolution of his marriage to Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro. In a recent podcast episode, Franklin detailed how their relationship began with a proposal in 2015, but the engagement was abruptly canceled when Esoro withdrew, leading to embarrassment and emotional turmoil. After reconciling and marrying, their marriage ultimately ended in divorce, which profoundly affected Franklin emotionally. He recounted attempting suicide on several occasions but was prevented by family members. Despite the pain, Franklin emphasized that he and Esoro chose to avoid public conflict and focus on co-parenting their child, whom he considers the greatest blessing from the marriage. He encouraged others facing relationship challenges to remain hopeful and view such experiences as opportunities for growth.
